Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 226 Forgotten (Thirteen)
The hollow in his chest began to collapse, and cracks quickly spread across his entire body, as if he were about to shatter completely at any moment.

A fatal attack; Yang Jian was nearly killed in that instant.

But his expression remained unchanged.

A deep crimson color surged across his body, and he chose to restart without hesitation.

Yang Jian had taken a full hit from the holy staff, but this only confirmed his suspicions.

My gaze returned to the statue in front of me.

The statue, its face contorted in a grotesque grimace, raised its staff once more as it looked at Yang Jian.

"Again?"

Without further hesitation, the surrounding environment, under the influence of the ghostly aura, turned a deep red, as if it were about to drip blood.
On the cold, damp lake surface, black flames burned wildly.

The red light shone on Yang Jian's lifeless face.

The ghostly hand holding the wood-chopping knife rose and then fell.

The medium triggered it.

Immediately afterwards, the entire statue split in two and fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground, where it remained motionless.

Yang Jian stood there, looking at the stick that had fallen from the statue's hand.

It lay motionless on the water's edge. Its pale surface resembled bones soaked in corpse water.

He hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and reached out to take it.

It felt cold to the touch, dry and hard. It wasn't quite metal, nor was it wood; it felt like holding a dead person's bone.

The moment Yang Jian touched that stick.

Suddenly, a second identical stick appeared in the void ahead.

Without warning.

It was suspended in the air, about five meters away from him.

"As expected... there's a problem with the quantity, but my Ghost Eyes couldn't see it at all just now."

I tried to take a step forward.

The stick opposite him took a step back at the same time, maintaining the same distance from him.

No matter where Yang Jian went, the stick always stayed five meters away from him.

Yang Jian stopped and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Can't touch it?"

Just then, cracks began to rapidly spread across the shoulder holding the stick.

"You'll be attacked just for holding it?"

Yang Jian didn't pay any attention; the ghostly shadow covering his body delayed the eerie attack.

He raised the stick in his hand and swung it lightly.

Nothing happened.

"Does it have to be in contact with two sticks at the same time?"

Yang Jian stared at the stick, deep in thought.

"Try Ghost Domain."

The crimson ghostly domain spread along the ghostly hand, gradually enveloping the entire staff.

At that very moment, the suspended stick opposite also flashed with a scarlet light.

Crimson lights intertwined. The ghost realm invaded another one in the opposite void through the staff in its hand.

At the same time, the crack on his shoulder stopped spreading.

"It works..."

Yang Jian remained motionless.

After confirming there was no further reaction, he raised the stick in his hand and swung it once more.

The stick five meters away also swayed, and the two movements were completely synchronized.

Yang Jian now understood how he had been attacked.

The two are one; there are two sticks in total, or rather, it is a supernatural object that has been divided into two puzzle pieces.

One exists in reality, while the other exists on an unobservable level, invisible even to the ghost's eye. One must touch one stick to see the other.

Only when both are "in contact" in a specific way can a balance be maintained.

Contact with any one of them alone will trigger a fatal attack.

Yang Jian managed to stabilize the balance by simultaneously invading both sticks through the six layers of ghost domain.

It has very special supernatural properties, and in a battle between ghost tamers, it can achieve a surprise effect.

Yang Jian glanced at the wood-chopping knife, then at the pale white stick, and muttered to himself, "If I combine the stick with the wood-chopping knife, will the knife also have the same characteristics...?"

Combining two supernatural objects is an extremely dangerous act, almost tantamount to suicide, and carries a great risk.

However, Li Jun's condition gave him a lot of inspiration. Even two incompatible supernatural puzzle pieces can complement each other under certain specific circumstances.

"The form of objects is merely the outward manifestation of vengeful spirits. The ghost realm can rewrite reality. If the layers of the ghost realm are deepened, the shape of the vengeful spirits can be changed."

Yang Jian pondered silently.

He had previously speculated that if Li Leping's amnesia were deeper, he might be able to change the original form of the vengeful ghost and give it a new container, thus creating a supernatural item that he wanted.

Now Yang Jian wants to put this idea into practice, but of course he can't create a completely new supernatural item.

But he only needs to slightly change the appearance of the stick in front of him.

The red light on the ghost's hand grew stronger, and even the white staff in front of it turned red.

"The fifth level of the ghost realm can send away some vengeful ghosts that are not fully revived, while the sixth level pauses time in the surrounding area and enhances this effect."

The red light on the stick grew brighter and brighter until it completely overwhelmed the original white color, turning the entire stick red as if it had been burned through by high temperatures.

At this moment, the intense crimson at the tip of the stick was compressed into a small ball.

This is a new way of using ghost domains that Yang Jian mastered when he came out of the internet cafe, which compresses the ghost domain that can cover an entire city to the extreme.

This caused the ghost realms to constantly clash within this extremely small area.

"about there…"

When the Ghost Realm reached its seventh level, the staff in front of us finally changed.

One end of the stick is slightly recessed, forming a mortise and tenon structure with a cross-shaped surface and a hollow interior.

At the same time, the other stick opposite Yang Jian also underwent the same change.

The handle of the machete isn't too thick; it just needs to be inlaid.

"boom!"

Yang Jian slammed the stick into the ground, then picked up a woodcutter's knife and rammed it into the ground. He didn't know how to forge weapons, so he had to rely on brute force to shove the knife in.

However, with the blessing of the Ghost Domain, even though Yang Jian's technique was rough, he was able to make fine adjustments step by step.

The mortise and tenon joint at the top of the stick firmly held the woodcutter's knife in place. Yang Jian felt it wasn't stable enough, so he tightened it again using the Ghost Domain, making it fit together perfectly.

The moment the two completely merged, a rusty machete suddenly appeared on the stick opposite.

"Two machetes?!" Yang Jian was startled.

He immediately decided to give it a try, and the ghostly hand gripped the long stick, which was a mix of dark red and pale white.

No… it should now be called a spear.

He looked at the statue on the ground that he had just split in two.

As the ghostly domain extended, the spear opposite immediately changed position and appeared next to the statue.

He casually swung his sword down, and the two spears followed the same trajectory.
